The Steelers addressed their glaring need for offensive line help by drafting Louisiana-Layfette guard Kevin Dotson at No. 135. Expect him to compete with G/C Stefen Wisniewski for the starting position.
Steelers fans and media took to Twitter to express their excitement about the selection, along with a player we all know very well…

Kevin Dotson might be the best OG in this class when it's all said and done.

Kevin Dotson is a straight bully. Excelles in the run game and definitely a position of need for the Steelers pic.twitter.com/V5ApTIt6uv

Kevin Dotson is your typical #Steelers offensive lineman. Just a mauler who bullies people off the line. https://t.co/sL1Z5Pn6Kh

Kevin Dotson started 52 consecutive games in the four seasons since his redshirt year at Louisiana-Lafayette and won first-team All-America honors as a senior at right guard. #Steelers #NFLDraft #NFL

Kevin Dotson can move a man from Point A to Point B. RG here. Played in a Wing T offense in HS so he knows how to run block. Him and Robert Hunt at RT were a great duo. #Steelers pic.twitter.com/hbSSvmzNBc

Steelers OL pick Kevin Dotson says he worked as a bouncer the past two years. But resents the "brawler" tag a bit, because he believes his technique is strong, as well
"I did a lot of pre-emptive type things, just walking around the club. Gotta keep that mean mug on your face."

The Steelers just got a steal in G Kevin Dotson. According to @PFF, he was the highest rated guard in college football in 2019.

Steelers OL Coach Shaun Sarrett said he had coaches calling (more likely texting) him after taking Kevin Dotson telling him how good of a pick it was.
